discuss What would Casino.com be worth today?

Arpit131 · Mar 20, 2019

Casino.com sold for $5.5 million in 2003.
What do you think would be its value now?

1) For an end user
2) For a reseller sale

Also, share how do you arrive at that valuation?

This is to get an insight on how normal people like us and some of the top brokers and big players evaluate a domain name, who do they see as a buyer and what goes into making those sales we see posted by people like Dave Evanson.

Contribute your thoughts!

Any views guys? What could the domain be worth today?
Would help you develop the appraisal skills and how you evaluate a domain name, what all thing you observe etc.
Give it a try!

Probably not a lot more in 2003 domain sales were flourishing but there is inflation to consider. The adult industry which includes casinos were all getting the money back then. I would think perhaps 12 million would be a realistic figure thinking about sale of sex dot com as a comparison. I would love to see the keyword rise in value as have CasinoChain.and CasinoTurnkey

Namepros member $150
Wholesaler 7 million
Resale 12 milllion.

@Aprit131, you have some good posts out there, but don't see the value in this thread. A domain of the caliber of casino.com is beyond the realm of 99.99% of us on this board (Normal people as you say) and perhaps beyond the realm of even 99.99% of the brokers out there..There might be a handful of people like Rick, who might have a domain similar to casino.com and I am thinking, they choose a number,are patient and stick to it, self sufficient and don't need the funds for cash flow, even if the offer comes close to their expectation they are still unmoved, they don't budge from their price etc. The art of saying No is how you score big in big transactions. I doubt if there is any secret sauce to it. An end user, probably a big corporation or company in that space might want a solid digital property, have a business plan for it, are willing to acquire the domain at any cost and are desperate to have it.

Discussing an unicorn and an outlier is not going to help us in valuing our domains of lesser value. Apologies if this comes off as blunt.

Please feel free to disagree if I am off base here.

Lot of dollhairs I guess

But do not see point to discuss value of names which does not belong to us.

I like the fact that you have an opinion and you disagree!!
Point noted, friend!

Around $7m - $12m in my opinion at first call. A good variable to consider is the money online casinos make per month. I live in Eastern EU, and we have here a 50 employees company that brings $1.5m - $2.5m / month from ~300k subscribers on roulette, and slots only (no poker or sports betting). So my guess is that there are bigger companies out there especially in Western EU & North America that can spend that amount in a blink of an eye reported to this 1 word dot com domain that define the whole niche - can't get better than this. In fact, I'd push that price up to $15 mil. Just my 2 cents...
